Java ferns are much more hardy and are pretty much bulletproof IME.

Re: Picking dwarf sag.

Pull them up with your hand. Try to reach into the substrate to grab closer to the base. Be gentle.

10-15min? Seems like you're soaking them instead of dipping.

Re: HC...Floating

You can float them. They are actually a stem plant. As other stem plants, if you float it, it'll start to develop stems and roots

Re: Oily surface film from ferts?

Re: Oily surface film from ferts?

Oily surface film is a protein layer. Surface agitation or a skimmer will break it up.
